What size cable is 16mm?
The size 16mm refers to the cross-sectional diameter of the core, the overall diameter of the cable is 11.35mm.
How do you convert mm to AWG?
AWG sizes with multiple zeros can be designated as number of zeros or number of zeros/0. Both metric wire cross-section and wire outside diameter can be calculated by formulas using just the AWG number. The formula for the wire outside diameter is: 0.127 mm * 92(32-n)/39 [mm].
How many amps can 16mm cable take?
16mm Twin And Earth Current Carrying Capacity
| NOMINAL CROSS SECTIONAL AREA mm2 | REFERENCE METHOD A* (IN CONDUIT IN WALL) Amps | REFERENCE METHOD C* (CLIPPED DIRECT) Amps |
|---|---|---|
| 16mm | 57 Amps | 85 Amps |
How many amps can a 16mm cable handle?
The current carrying capacity of 16 sq mm copper cable with PVC insulation is 61 amperes for single phase AC or DC.
What is 16 mm cable used for?
16mm Armoured Cable is a power and auxiliary control cable, designed for use in mains supply electricity. Used for underground systems, cable networks, power networks, outdoor and indoor applications, and cable ducting.
Can 16mm tails carry 80a?
16mm is fine on 80 amp if clipped direct or buried in masonry (method C). In duct, trunking or conduit, it would need to be on a 60amp.
What is the current carrying capacity of 16mm cable?
How many amps can 16mm SWA carry?
94A
The swa cable is 3-core. The house is occupied by an elderly lady who wouldn’t use any equipment with a big load. I was of thinking of using 16mm because the consumer unit is the kitchen and it would be easier to conceal than 25mm and 16mm is able to handle up to 94A.

How many amps will a 16mm cable carry?
Are 16mm meter tails OK?
Although most electricity distributors will agree to their cut-out being used the typical maximum length of meter tails is 2 or 3 meters. Generally installed meter tails are 25mm. A smaller diameter such as 16mm would be permitted providing the cut-out fuse is sized in accordance with section 433.1.
What is AWG 16?
AWG stands for American wire gauge. It relates to the diameter of the wire. The more current capacity it can carry, the lower the AWG. A thicker 16AWG can carry 13 Amps, but a thinner 18AWG can only carry 10 Amps.
